I've Become Very Lazy!



WMy good friend Virginia has reminded me that it's time for a new blog and I have so many thoughts reverberating in my ancient brain that I really don't know what my fingers are going to write about.

So...here goes!

I take such delight every week hearing and seeing Jeff and Donna's dogs. Now they'll never say their dogs are naughty ... they'll say it's all their fault.

So last Sunday when we were speaking Jeff showed me on the webcam a little gadget that he put together and he taught Bandit 4 tricks with it...and I don't know who was prouder...the dog or its owners.

Their beagle dogs are hunters so they dig lots of ditches in the backyard and Jeff had to go to Home Depot to buy dirt...so Donna could fill up all the holes ...now they can mow the lawn without fear of falling.

Jeff and Donna try to let me into their lives by explaining how everything works.....and I am constantly amazed.

We went to the Kennedy Space Center when they were here....and I imagine in another hundred years, this will all seem primitive to the folks who go to the museum.

In a way going to the moon has taken some of the romance away from this Lunar...because now we know it's just barren rock. However, what they do with their 'findings' is very interesting.

I don't know what the people who use cell phones in their daily lives would do without this handy little gadget....but thanks to space we have it.

But anyway, I don't recall that I heard any new songs about the romance of the moon.....so will they write new songs about Mars...and not the chocolate one.

Your right about change..when I worked years ago for the Govt it was with typewriters...now since computers no one speaks. I get e mails on what to do...who to send it to...what to learn re training...forms online....reports online..leave schedules online...everything except when you leave to go to the bathroom online. They have not gotten us online to go potty yet!!! Will that be next? When I get laryngitis I do not need to worry....no one talks except on cells but a lot of people do text messaging. You do not need to shop for food or clothing or anything...go online. We have become mute! Well, I am off to mah jongg where I can talk and laugh and use my vocal chords! Thats online now too...but there are still those that like interaction with humans.
